The State Duma (russias lower house) took a step-forward with ground-breaking legislation today. The new-fangled bill opens doors to change how moscow handles terrorist group classifications: specifically allowing courts to pause such designations
The bill — which targets current rules about terrorist organizations — passed its first reading in a three-step process. The changes could affect afghanistans Taliban status in russian law books (which currently lists them as terrorists)
The road-ahead includes two more parliamentary readings; upper house review and Vladimir Putins final ok. The proposed changes would let courts make time-limited adjustments to terrorist listings‚ showing moscows shifting approach to international relations
